(5) The President reported the receipt in June last from an

ing of a Department of Chinese Languages, Literatures, 
Religion and Law; to be known as the Dean Lung Professor- 
ship of Chinese," and a further gift of $12,000 from Dean 
Lung to be added to the fund. 

(6) The following letter was received from Mr, Low tender- 
ing his resignation as President: 

President's Room, September 25th, 1901. 

Mr. W. C. SCHERMERHORN, 

Chairman of the Trustees of Columbia College 

in the City of New York. 
Sir: 

As you are aware, I have been obliged to make 

known my purpose of accepting the nominations that will be 
tendered to me for the office of Mayor of New York. Under 
these circumstances I hereby place in your hands for sub- 
mission to the Trustees of the University my resignation of 
the office of President with which my fellow Trustees honored 
me twelve years ago. In doing so I beg to ask that the 
resignation be accepted to take effect immediately. 

It is clearly undesirable for the University to keep at its 
head one who can no longer give to it the sole and exclusive 
attention that it deserves; and, perhaps, I may add without 
being misunderstood, that I think it equally in my own 
interest that this course should be pursued. My own wish, 
therefore, coincides with what I conceive to be the interest of 
the University, when I ask that my resignation be considered 
as final. 

It is, however, with no light heart that I take this serious 
step; but only under the constraint of a call to the public 
service that brooks no denial. Columbia University cannot 
teach men to be patriotic if it will make no sacrifices in the 
public interest; and not even Columbia's President can ex- 



No. 137 
3 1901-1902 

Oct. 7 

pect to be exempt from the obligation to illustrate good citizen- 
ship as well as to teach it. 

In now surrendering my charge into the hands of the 
Trustees, I am glad to believe that almost all of the special 
problems that have commanded my attention have been 
solved. The only large question not fully disposed of is the 
question of the debt necessarily incurred as a consequence 
of removal to our new site. In all probability our resources 
within the next six or seven years will increase to a point 
where that burden will cease to be felt. In the meantime our 
interest charge cannot be met out of our income without 
impairment of our educational efficiency. We have been 
successful in raising the needed money this year; and I can- 
not believe that the generous people of the City will fail to 
sustain, in this respect, year by year, for the few years the 
need is likely to last, the University that has done and is 
doing so much for the City of New York. Of course the 
University looks in large measure to future benefactions to 
pay off the debt itself. 

The results accomplished could not have been realized 
except for the strong and unwavering support that I have 
received at all times from the Trustees ; and for this support, 
the value of which I alone can estimate, I thank you, Sir, and 
every one of my colleagues. I take this opportunity, also, 
of conveying my thanks, through you, to the noble body of 
men, Professors and Instructors of every grade, who have 
held up my hands so loyally during all these years. It is 
they, and not I, who have made the Columbia University of 
which we are all so proud, and I bespeak from them for my 
successor, whoever he maybe, the same loyal and affectionate 
support that they have given to me. 

With every good wish for Alma Mater, whom it is always 
a delight to serve; and rejoicing, that, while retiring from 
the presidency, I may still continue in her service as Trustee, 

I am. Sir, 

Very respectfully yours, 

SETH LOW. 



No. 137 
1901-1902 4 

Oct. 7 

(7) Resolved, That the resignation of Seth Low as President 
of this Corporation be, and it is hereby accepted to take effect 
immediately. 

(8) Resolved, That the following minute relative to Mr. 
Low's resignation be adopted, and a copy sent to Mr. Low: 

The Trustees have learned with the deepest regret that 
Mr. Low has determined to resign the office of President of 
this University. They appreciate, however, the patriotic pur- 
poses which have induced him to retire from his present post; 
and they recognize the delicacy and unselfishness which have 
dictated his requests that his resignation be considered final 
and that it be accepted to take effect immediately. Requests 
so made cannot be ignored or refused, and the Trustees have 
therefore felt constrained to comply with Mr. Low's wishes and 
to accept his resignation at this present meeting. 

In so doing they deem it proper to enter upon their min- 
utes a record of their affectionate regard for Mr. Low per- 
sonally, and of their high opinion of the value of his services 
to the University. 

Mr. Low has now served as Trustee for twenty years. He 
has served as President for exactly twelve years — having been 
elected October 7th, 1889 — a period marked by changes of 
the utmost importance, which may fairly be said to have 
created a new Columbia. A great University has been or- 
ganized out of a group of scattered and unrelated schools. 
It has been moved to new and generous quarters that worthily 
accommodate it and that invite the large expansion which is 
certainly before it. It has established intimate and satisfac- 
tory affiliations with Barnard College and Teachers College. 
Its educational organization is thorough and effective; a 
strong, enthusiastic common life now pervades and inspires 
every part; the number of its teachers and students was 
never so large; its educational prestige was probably never 
higher; and in every quarter, both inside and outside the 
University, the utmost good-will prevails. 

Such a record of achievement tells its own story of the head 
of the University; but it would be a most incomplete account 



No. 137 
5 1901-1902 

Oct. 7 

that failed to make some reference to Mr. Low's extraordinary 
and unwearied generosity. At his own cost he has built the 
University Library building; he has established trust funds 
for the encouragement of study and research, and he has 
contributed in unnumbered ways to supplement the funds of 
the University, and to help every good cause in which its 
members are interested. 

The Trustees cannot but deplore the loss of an executive 
officer so able, experienced and zealous, but they rejoice to 
learn that Mr. Low intends to continue a Trustee and they 
indulge the hope that whatever post of duty he may hereafter 
occupy this Board will still continue to enjoy the benefit of 
his counsel. 

(9) Resolved^ That Professor Nicholas Murray Butler be, 
and he hereby is, appointed Acting President, to serve until 
the further order of the Board, with the powers and duties 
of President, and that until further order of the Board h^ be 
requested to attend the meetings of the Trustees. 

(10) Resolved, That it be referred to a Committee of Five, 
to be appointed by the Chair, and of whom the Chairman of 
the Board shall be one, to consider and report upon the 
subject of filling the vacancy in the office of President and to 
nominate one or more candidates for the consideration of the 
Board. 

The Chairman appointed to serve on such Committee with 
himself, the Rev. Dr. Dix, and Messrs. Rives, Mitchell and 
Pine. 

(11) Notice was given of several proposed amendments to 
the By-Laws and Statutes.

(14) Resolved, That a special appropriation of $443.57 be 
made to the credit of the Library, on account of the Catalogue 
of Educational Books in the University libraries, and as 
against the like amount collected from fines and for duplicates

(15) Resolved, That the Finance Committee have authority 
to pay the expenses of Prof. Boas, incurred at the request of 
the President, in looking into the methods of administration 
of the Oriental Departments of Europe, to an amount not ex- 
ceeding $150. 

(16) Resolved, That an appropriation of $1,500, or so much 
thereof as may be necessary, be and hereby is made, to be 
added to the annual budget of the year, on account of the 
salary of said Employment Secretary.

turer in Philosophy; also that leave of absence for the same 
period had been given to Prof. Mayo-Smith, and that his 
principal course would be given by Dr. E. R. L. Gould, Ph. D. ,

MINUTE. 

In recording the death of Mr. William C. Schermerhorn, 
the Chairman of the Board, the Trustees desire to make formal 
acknowledgment of his services to the University and to give 
expression to their personal feeling of respect and affection. 

Graduated from Columbia College sixty-three years ago, he 
has been one of its Trustees for forty-two years, and for the 
past ten years has been Chairman of the Board. In the 
remarkable development of the institution during that long 
period of time he has taken a deep interest and an active part. 
Acquainted as few other men have been, not only with its 
history, but with the details of its financial and educational 
administration, he has been in the heartiest sympathy with 
every wise plan for its enlargement and its increased efficiency. 
His alertness of mind, his sound judgment, his cultivated 
taste, his progressive spirit and his loyal and untiring devotion 
to the interests of the University have been of the greatest 
possible service in the critical years through which it has 
safely passed, while his presence at the head of this Board 
has done so much to inspire public confidence in the wisdom 
of its management of the great trust committed to it. Always 
ready by well-timed and judicious gifts to meet the need of 
increased resources, he has been one of the most constant and.

deprived of one of her most loyal and devoted sons, whose 
liberality on behalf of his Alma Mater was unstinted, and 
whose interest in her welfare and advancement was unfailing. 

The Trustees direct this minute to be entered upon their 
records as an expression of their appreciation of the character 
and services of their associate, and of their sympathy with the 
members of his family.

EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION. 

(114) The President presented the following announcement 
of the death of Professor Thomas Randolph Price, which was 
entered upon the minutes: 

June I, 1903. 
To the Trustees : 

It is my sad duty to announce the death, on May 
7, of Thomas Randolph Price, Professor of the Eng- 
lish Language and Literature in Columbia University 
since 1882. In Professor Price, Columbia University 
and the country lose a member of the very small group 
of truly great American scholars. Built upon the 
foundation furnished by the character of a Virginia 
gentleman, Professor Price's scholarship gave to his 
mind and nature a rare and enduring charm. He was 
educated at the University of Virginia and at the 
Universities of Berlin and of Kiel. He broke off his 
studies in Europe in order to enlist as a private in the 
ranks of the Confederate Army, and served with 
gallantry and devotion the flag and the cause to which 
his mind and heart gave willing allegiance. Upon the 
conclusion of the Civil war. Professor Price entered 
upon his career as a teacher, serving successively as 



No. 154 
3 1902-1203 

June I 

Principal of the University School in Richmond, 
Virginia, as Professor of Latin and Greek at Randolph- 
Macon College, and as Professor of Greek in the 
University of Virginia. It was from this latter post, in 
which he succeeded his life-long friend, Gildersleeve, 
that he came to Columbia to the chair which he oc- 
cupied for twenty-one years. At the time of his 
death, Professor Price had but five seniors on the roll 
of the University's teaching staff. 

The influence of Professor Price at Columbia has 
been marked. His extraordinary scholarship, his 
strongly held opinions on all academic and educa- 
tional subjects, and his sincere devotion to the highest 
university ideals, have left a lasting impression upon 
his colleagues, as well as upon his many students. 
During his long career as teacher and professor, he 
produced men and scholars, rather than books, a^d 
these have gone out into the colleges and schools of 
the country, where they serve the ideals which he 
taught and pay glad tribute to their master's learning 
and power. 

Professor Price's sensitiveness and his extreme 
modesty prevented the world at large from knowing 
what we at Columbia knew so well, that he was 

" The scholar who combined 
The English soul and Grecian mind." 

Respectfully, 

Nicholas Murray Butler, 

President. ' 

(115) Professor William R. Ware was appointed Professor 
Emeritus of Architecture, and the following minute was 
adopted: 

On the occasion of the retirement of William R. Ware as 
Professor Emeritus of Architecture, the Trustees desire to 
place on record this expression of their appreciation of his
